I stopped following all the patent trolling in the mobile industry months ago because, you know, I have a life, but apparently some big ruling just got handed down in the United States: using three software patents, a patent troll from Cupertino has been given an injunction on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, imposing a ban on the device. This patent trolling has to stop, blah, blah, we've all been here before. If you need me, I'll be over there on the sofa remembering the good old days when Cupertino was famous for great products, instead of infamous for its patent troll.

And another "fanboy" comment without any actual substance. Why are you allowed to post at all?

Well, If people like you can post, why-not-me?
Maybe you can start telling people here why you love apple that much? How their legal dispute is honorable? They sued just because they "HAVE TO" sue? And.. Err.. Please, tell us with good reasoning.

I don't love Apple. I don't particularly agree with their decisions, but they are sound legally (Doesn't make them moral)

However, I also think it's unfair to say that Android is "free" when there is so much legal mystery surrounding Android. At least other players in the industry license the patents they need so OEMs have a little more peace of mind.

Sound legally doesn't make them right. Sure, the root of the problem is US Patent System. But when you get the patent, you can use it wisely--not with what Apple did here.
Rare we see one abuse patent like Apple did. And they won't stop. Please read they case carefully and judge with you heart.
And, IMHO, when google abuse their patent, google will have 'special treat' here on OSNews, too
